Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery (1887-1976) was one of Britain's top commnaders in the Second World War (1939-45). He famously defeated Erwin Rommel (1891-1944) at the Second Battle of El Alamein in North Africa in November 1942. Known for his cautious thoroughness and eccentric uniform, the national hero was also involved in the invasion of Italy, the Normandy landings, and the race to the Rhine.
